Damaged Electronics

Saturday while Dustin and I were on that trip over to the Anzu, there was a lightning storm in Shell. I lost a network hub and an wireless access point in our attic. Actually, only the BNC connector on the hub was damaged, and I was able to swap the hub with one in the McCleery's attic to get things going again. But, the wireless access point I had to replace. Fortunately I had a spare one. Today I will be doing some shopping online to find some replacements. The problem is that money is tight right now for the program. We make up a budget each year, but it is dependent on flight revenue. We have been flying less hours lately than projected, therefore we don't have as much money as we had planned on. The belt is quite tight right now.
